my 8th grade math teacher once thought Pie Cars was the correct pronunciation of my last name, it's close, and a lot of people call me that, but then he's like "what's that, like cars made out of pie or something?" but it was a good fit and I use it for everything now, xbl, steam, techpb, etc.

false... the global war on terror, or GWOT, is different then Operation Enduring Freedom... OEF is simply the operational name for the war in afghanistan... GWOT covers iraq, afghanistan, kuwait, and any other county that falls under our pervue as an active combat zone fighting terrorists

My user name reflects part of my religious/philosophical beliefs - that there's no such thing as destiny.

...and while I'm older now, the 33 I put in because the first site I used my handle with required a number. *cough* it was my age at the time. It's sobering to realize a good number of posters here are young enough to be my kids.

well LUXOR54 was originally my Xbox Live username because one of my old accounts got lost because i could remember the E-mail address i registered it to (i know, i'm stupidly smart) if it wasn't for that incident you would probably be calling me Drago5407 right now.
when i was thinking of a new user name i thought lux.. luxury.. luxor.. amazing hotel in vegas.. all caps makes it more prominent. i thought that just LUXOR wasn't enough so i decided to put numbers on it, and i couldn't think of anything but 54 because LUXOR54 just flows off the tongue easier than any other numbers, sounded cool to me. at least it is't one of those xXXxSwAG-MLG-YolOxXXx gamertags...

I came up with the name "techpb" as is Technical Paintball, focusing on the more technical parts of paintball instead of just breakout videos

Then I put my first name after the company name

TechPB-Mike

but other user names I've had were Rendition Tech, that was my favorite one until I left my computer on one night, and one my jokester teammates hopped on my computer, used my user name and blasted PBN with gay porn as a joke.

Don't ever let paintball players get drunk and sleep at your house the night before a tournament, LOL bad bad idea

My buddy Jon was friends with me and my buddy McDowell (my name is McKenzie). He used to call us "Little Irish and Big Irish" since McDowell was a bigger dude then I was. We were also known as the Mick's. However my buddy introduced me to TechPB, and I just sort of ran with the nickname.

I grew up riding BMX, and I was always wheeling and dealing. So one time when I was at Woodward camp I set up this HUGE trade that involved over 30 people, and I had it all lined up before I did the first trade. It was crazy, and took most of the day to complete. When it was done, I had a bunch of happy customers, and a ton of new stuff.

I ended up with a new set of rims, a new frame/fork, some rare tshirts, and tons of stickers. On that day guys started calling me "free" enterprise. As I started the trade with nothing. The name stuck, and for years after that guys called me that. I recently found some old footage from 1990 and threw together a little edit from back in the day on my BMX.

I chose this username because it's the same one I had over at PBreview from back in the mid 2000's when that place was still alive. There's really no story behind it to speak of; I was 16 and stupid. I did have a more interesting one from the Lapco forums called ICDragon, which obviously borrowed the acronym from Indian Creek Designs. At the time I was shooting a 2004 BKO, so I found a cool word to tack onto the end of the ICD. Incidentally, that's also my gamer tag on Xbox live.

It means "lazy bastard" (not directly, but in effect) in Norwegian, and I thought it fairly appropriate. I have used it for years, well before TechPB, and it has just kind of become my default. Always makes for good times when you hear it in Norwegian conversation, and you associate it with yourself.

Wait - between your member title and your user name, you mean you don't have "lots of babies" running around this earth? I always figured your name was a manwhore badge of honor, like the paintball equivalent of Ludacris with his Area Codes song.

Well my username came from the fact that I play soccer. However the only nickname I've ever received in my life is "Germany". However I deemed that lame and not cool enough. So my XBL GT is EOD DeathDealer

EOD DeathDealerEOD- Explosive Ordinance Disposal, the job I'd like to do in the Navy

One of the first things you learn in EOD school is that they are very superstitious.Hate to break it to you, but having anything EOD-related associated with you before you earn your crab (be it a T-shirt, poster, or Gamertag), will pretty much guarantee that, by some strange cosmic force, you will fail.

Also, in the EOD world, the movie The Hurt Locker doesn't exist, has never existed, and will never exist. Period.Remember that.
